Nearly a thousand years ago, the lands of Sancta Vedelia were plunged into a brutal war, a conflict that consumed the entire continent in chaos. From the outside, it appeared to be a war over territories and dominance, and while that was partly true, the roots of the conflict ran much deeper—into the very nature and pride of the races involved.
The war pitted the High Humans, Werewolves, Vampires, and the diverse Elven races against one another. Among the Elves, there were numerous subgroups, each distinct and proud of their heritage: the Elves, the High Elves, the Blood Elves, and the Dark Elves.
Though occasional skirmishes broke out between the Elven factions themselves, the primary clash was between the High Humans and the other races. It was a war of survival and ascension, and at the time, the High Humans were seen as the underdogs—a dark horse in a race dominated by beings with extraordinary abilities.
